NEW YORK -- U.K. rock outfit Keane is "nearly done" with its third album, according to a Web posting from pianist Tim Rice-Oxley. No title or release date has been confirmed for the project, but it's likely to appear before year's end via Interscope.
Keane has recorded in Paris and Berlin, with assistance from producer Jon Brion and new bassist/guitarist Jesse Quinn. Among the songs likely to make the cut are "Playing Along," "Black Burning Heart" and "Perfect Symmetry," as well as "a lovely song we're trying to do in a kind of Mercury Rev-type of way," Rice-Oxley said.
Of the latter, he adds, "It's begging to burst into some kind of 'Only Living Boy in New York'-style (background vocal) extravaganza at the end."
Earlier postings referred to "gospel-infused backing vocals," "huge, pounding concert drums and timpanis" and "the grandness of (a) Steinway piano" as enriching the songs.
The new album will be the follow-up to 2006's "Under the Iron Sea," which has sold more than 369,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

'Michael Jackson Is Incapable Of Ever Performing Again'
A top promoter in Las Vegas has lambasted reports that Michael Jackson is set for a spectacular comeback in the city, stating that the pop star is incapable of performing ever again.
Speculation that the Thriller singer will be making a triumphant return with a residency in Sin City has been rife since it was discovered an equity group linked to the Las Vegas Hilton helped him save his Neverland Ranch from foreclosure.
Jackson has also been spotted in the Nevada state a number of times recently, leading to further gossip.
However, promoter Jack Wishna, who helped Celine Dion secure her successful stint in Las Vegas, insists Jackson isn't fit enough to return to the stage.
He tells the National Enquirer: "Sadly, Michael's incapable of keeping promises, because he hasn't got the will to even show up anywhere, much less get himself into shape for a world-class performance.
“He might drop by to wave at guests, or do a dance on top of a limo, but a longterm show? That dream will never come true, I'm afraid."
